World Wetlands Day

More than 5 million people visit the Park each year.

The General Project Plan was adopted in 2005.

The New York Harbor was once the busiest in the World.

The Park is managed ecologically.

Timber seating and climbing platforms in the playground are made from reclaimed Long Leaf Yellow pine that was extracted from demolished warehouses on the park site.

Trees, lawns, and shrubs are managed organically

Pier 1 is the only pier that is built on landfill rather than on pile-supported structure, which allows for unlimited weight restrictions and the creation of large hills.

Construction of the park began in January 2009.
